Belfast hotel is vice den for porn model on global sex tour

Sunday, May 04, 2008

Blonde Alyssa Jenkins likes to boast of her modelling contracts, film roles and her involvement in the Formula 3 racing circuit.

But she is one of dozens of touring prostitutes flooding into Belfast every week and making tens of thousands of pounds plying their sordid trade in the city's hotels.

The Proceeds of Crime Act is now being turned on the Mr Bigs of Ulster's multi-million pound vice trade.

But it's doing nothing to stem the flow of glamorous call-girls arriving in the province to line their pockets.

Kiwi model Jenkins (26) raked in thousands when she spent almost a week in Belfast last month meeting businessmen for sex in the Europa Hotel.

Unknown to staff at the world-famous hotel, the transatlantic porn movie star spent five days on its fifth floor charging clients £170-an-hour before moving her sex tour on to the United States.

She told an undercover Sunday Life reporter how she was an occasional visitor to Belfast, but had cut back on her trips to Northern Ireland because she was running scared of paramilitary boot boys who have been behind a string of violent attacks on hookers.

In Northern Ireland there is no crime of prostitution, but soliciting — physically offering sex for reward — is an offence in Belfast and Londonderry, under by-laws.

Brothel operators can also be charged with the offence of living off immoral earnings.

But that is no deterrent to the dozens of hookers who advertise for business on a series of sleazy websites dedicated to the vice trade in Ireland.

On the Irish Independent Escorts website prostitutes, including Jenkins, openly advertise exactly what they will do, and what they will charge for each different service. Regular users of the vice websites even write reviews of the prostitutes, giving them marks out of ten.

Bisexual blue movie star Jenkins boasts about her extensive porn film experience to drum up business.

Among the top-shelf titles in which she has starred are movies called Brit Chicks and Big Omar's British Adventures.

Many more of the film titles were too explicit to be published in a family newspaper.

And on her personal website — Blonde Illusion — Jenkins seduces would-be punters by telling them: "I am a stunning, blonde glamour model and professional dancer who has toured many top clubs all around the globe. I have been featured in XXX films throughout the world and also films on satellite .

"I have appeared in many top men's magazines including Hustler and have also been a Formula 3 Budweiser model."

The New Zealander, who lists her vital statistics as 36DD-26-32, adds: " Generally I am a fun and easy-going person who loves to undress, tease and please my audience."

She also offers her London-based customers the chance to romp in the back of a chauffeur-driven limousine while going on a tour of the city's tourist sights.

She lists her rates for her Belfast trips as £170-an-hour or asks for £1,500 to spend all day AND night with a customer.

Her website also comes with a wafer-thin waiver that states: "This site is not an offer of prostitution. Money exchanged is for time and companionship only. Anything else that may occur is a matter of personal choice between two or more consenting adults and is not contracted for or compensated for in any manner."

But it's not the law that worries the hooker.

She remains more scared of Belfast's terror godfathers muscling in on her trade.

When an undercover Sunday Life reporter contacted Jenkins to arrange to meet her during her last visit to Ulster, she was very cagey about her whereabouts and needed proof of our man's identity.

She insisted on seeing either his driving licence or to be able to contact him through the main switchboard of his company.

When she accepted our cover story, she eventually told us she was spending a week in Belfast's landmark Europa Hotel, and agreed to meet our reporter on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.

After travelling up in the lift of the hotel alongside Europa staff, our reporter arrived at Room 530 where he was quickly ushered in by the tracksuit-wearing porn star, who quickly said she was going to slip into " something more comfortable" before going on a bizarre rant about what she claimed was the poor service by the Europa's hotel cleaners.

"I can't complain now, because obviously I have been meeting people and I don't want to draw attention to myself. But when I leave I am going to complain," she moaned.

Then, locking the bedroom door, she added: "Basically you can have a shower or, if you don't want to, you can make yourself more comfortable and I will change into something more comfortable."

When our man started to talk about money for her services, he was told: " Just leave the gift on the table.

"If you want to get changed I am going to pop into the bathroom and change into something nicer."

Jenkins, suddenly becoming suspicious, then asked: "You're not a policeman, or a baddie or anything like that?"

"I come to Belfast once in a while,but not so often any more.

"That's why I asked all the security questions — because of criminals.

"The thing is, you're allowed to do things at your own discretion, I would imagine, because I'm not soliciting you, it does not actually make this illegal, so that's not what I am worried about.

"What worries me is the baddies.

"They apparently go around and beat up the girls.

"It's never happened to me, but I don't want it to happen to me either. That's why I phone your work and I actually speak to you."

As she lifts our money from the bedside table she adds: "If you just take your clothes off I will just start with a massage to relax you."

As our man made his excuses and left, she immediately said: "I have to keep the money because you booked my time. If you want to come and see me again I will give you a discounted rate."

After her Ulster trip Jenkins wrote on the Irish Independent Escorts website: "Thanks to everyone in Belfast I had a truly enjoyable time with all of you that I managed to meet.

"Looking forward to returning In August early to rekindle our wonderful times. My friend Lynne will probably be joining me for some hot fun. Alyssa xxxx."

Later this week she is jetting off to the United States, to spend a month servicing clients in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Boston.

And according to her website, she also travels to Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore to sell her body.

It's not the first time that the Europa has been rocked by a prostitution racket. In 1999 two employees of the hotel were suspended when an undercover team from the BBC's Spotlight programme exposed how they had fixed up hookers for "guests".

Six months after the television expose, neither of the two staff were on the payroll of Hastings Hotels, but nor were any prosecutions taken in the wake of the programme.

Last night the Hastings Hotels group refused to comment on our investigation but sources said that management were shocked and disgusted that prostitutes would use their premises to ply their trade.
